Hey neighborhood dog owners. I wanted to tell you that last month our dog was attacked by a neighbor&#39;s white pit bull that often gets loose and roams the 700 block of Mellon to Portland, etc. I did not feel the need to post about it, but I was just walking our dog on Portland Ave and a stray brindle pit bull came after my dog. I turned on time to see it, growled at it (lol!) and it backed off, but kept wanting to come forward. Then this angel of a man came in his car, beeped at us to get in, and he drove us to safety. If it had not been for him, I don&#39;t know what would have happened. I told the police officer sitting on negley and stanton but I know that animal control may take all day to get there. There is ONE animal control unit for Allegheny County and they don&#39;t get there for hours. The police don&#39;t take action unless there is an attack on a human.<div>
<br></div><div>anyway, I&#39;m really annoyed, obviously, that I don&#39;t feel we can walk our small dog safely in our neighborhood these days. But I just want to alert you to be on guard. It&#39;s not just for our dogs, but our kids and ourselves. Pepper spray is on my A list these days.</div>
